Sinner (Priest Book 2)

Product Information

Demon stories always make my skin crawl just a bit and the author wrote them in a way that gave me chills here and there.

The Sinner by Petra Hammesfahr | Goodreads

Emma Scott created a magnificent and unique plot within The Sinner! I really loved it and I'm not an avid paranormal/fantasy reader. I am so proud of Emma for taking a chance and writing outside her genre. It was genius. The Sinner is an epic tale about unparalleled love, anguishing grief and soul searching redemption.

It's partially Grovian's investigation into Bender's childhood and family life, and partially his patient and careful questioning of her that slowly draws out the truth. Bender's childhood is the stuff of nightmares - a desperately ill younger sister and a fanatical religious zealot of a mother who never hesitated to blame her first-born daughter for all of the younger sister's medical problems. Add a caring but sexually frustrated and ineffectual father, who whilst never sexually abusing his daughter, confronted her with her parent's sexual problems, and everything has combined to create a girl who is guilty, conflicted, and profoundly disturbed. Her closeness with her father creates a complex relationship with him, whilst he is kind and caring towards his daughter, his failure to take firm action in the face of her mother Elsbeth's more extreme behaviour makes him a weak figure, difficult to maintain respect, love and affection for. Bender's ill sister, Magdalena, should have died many times in her childhood, somehow managing to cling to life, she is the centre of her mother's world, swamping everything and everyone with her requirements, draining the families financial as well as emotional resources, isolating them. Eventually the two sisters seem to work out an understanding, a relationship, even love for each other, although, as with everything in this family, there's something not quite right. I truly don't know what else to say. Everything just worked amazingly for me- the writing, the characters, the emotions- I'm actually in love. ES truly did not disappoint with yet another consuming story, (still not doing ok after Full Tilt btw). Casziel has my heart. He comes across as a pissed off demon who hates everything, but the truth is that he is sad and lonely. He's crashing into Lucy's life asking her to help him with redemption for his past sins. But nothing is like it seems. I do have to note that I only skimmed like one small part of this book. Even though I was so confused and maybe a little bored (although I'm not sure that is the term I am looking for), I couldn't bring myself to skim much and I actually found myself wanting to read every word. I skimmed a little bit of Cora's thoughts about her nutty mom's Jesus ramblings, but that was about it and it was very near the end of the book (it was all things you have heard before).

Sinner: A gripping crime thriller that will keep you in

What surprised me is that even tho for the most part I still consider Caziel a teddy bear and put him under my "soft-boi" shelf for a reason, he is still rough around the edges and for a Emma Scott Hero, I would almost consider him an anti-hero after he said this 👀Emma have created a tantalizing world of demons and angels and an eternal love that transcends centuries and lifetime, a love so consuming and powerful and just plain raw. The effect this book has on me is ineffable. I was totally captivated and ensnared with this ethereal tale of love, grief, second chances, redemption and forgiveness!

Sinner: A Dark College Romance Kindle Edition The Sinner: A Dark College Romance Kindle Edition

Who is the Heroine? Lucy Dennings (age: 23). Has a degree in Bioengineering from NYU and works at a non profit. Her father passed away six months ago from cancer Finally, I know who I am. Why I’ve been feeling like I’ve been missing something.” I swallowed hard. “It was you. I’ve been missing you.” The Sinner involves Detective Jane Rizzoli and a main character new to the series, first seen in "The Apprentice" as a minor figure, medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. When a young novice nun about to take vows is found murdered in the abbey's summer chapel, Isles and Rizzoli are immediately called to the scene. The elderly nuns are of little help to Isles and Rizzoli but when another body is found, mutilated beyond recognition (and testing reveals the body to be that of a fortyish Indian Hansen's Disease victim), it is soon discovered that there is more to these killings than meets the eye. Dr. Victor Banks hooks up with Maura Isles.

Yeah, the translation may have been rough sometimes but if you're going to read a German author you're gonna have to accept that before going in. I was probably 50% annoyed and frustrated by all of Cora's lies and 50% down to play this game of trying to decipher what was true and what wasn't. I think there are SEVERAL parts that could've been written better. For example, when she's first being interrogated, I know it's supposed to be Mr. Police Man "breaking through her wall" to get her to talk but they way I read, it seemed like she just blurted stuff out and he didn't prob her much at all. I had a life, once. A long time ago. I was a commander of armies. Now, my armies do not wield swords; we incite battle among humans. We fuel the rage in men’s hearts. The wrath.” This is first and foremost a story about love. Eternal love. How it transcends time and space and solidifies its all-encompassing power. That love never disappears. It's the only thing we leave behind. Our greatest legacy. Our greatest gift.
